 About *Independent Bookstores:
PERSONALITY ~ PASSION ~ KNOWLEDGE ~ COMMUNITY ~ CHARACTER
We Independent Bookstores renew our sense of purpose and take this opportunity to share our thoughts on what defines an independent bookstore:
- Have an on-site owner--someone who is right there. All decisions are made right in the store
- Pride ourselves on depth and breadth of stock. We strive to reflect the interests of our customers.
- Talk with our customers directly and enjoy fulfilling - even exceeding - their expectations. Nothing makes us happier than to find the perfect book for you.
- Help the public discover new or little-known authors or presses.
- Invest resources in knowledgeable staff and nurture professional, career booksellers.
- We are community resources and are often active in community causes. We are proud of our numerous donations to local charities and fund-raisers.
- Work together to foster authors, books, and reading - in the process helping to spread literacy and knowledge.
- Are leaders in the fight against censorship and other threats to freedom of expression.
- One of the great strengths of our culture is diversity. When 5000 book buyers from independent stores across the country order books from publishers, their diverse selections ensure variety in the marketplace. If the marketplace becomes overly dominated by a few large, corporate-owned chain bookstores, publishing decisions will be made by a few easily controlled corporate buyers.
Thank you for shopping at The Montana Book Company, an independent bookseller.
